Light Summer Dishes on the Grill

Forgetting about the everyday hustle and bustle and stresses that come with living in a big city is the dream of anyone living in a metropolis. Time, however, being the thing that people seem to lack most of all, doesn’t let us relax long enough to do so, no matter how much we’d like to. The suburban sport and relaxation center «For Rest Mix» helps to solve this problem by offering its guests a variety of unique, pro-health programs over the period of a few days. There sports classes led by personal trainers, rejuvenating spa treatments, fresh air and delicious healthy food all work their magic, sending each visitor home feeling like a completely new person. RTG TV host Nadyezhda Lebedeva found this out for herself.   Recipe «Rack of lamb with asparagus and green peas»   Recipe «Seafood salad with grilled vegetables in a pesto sauce» Recipe «Almond hazelnut biscuits served with a cheesy yoghurt mousse»    Rack of lamb with asparagus and green peas recipe serves 2 person; preparation time ~ 15 minutes; cooking time ~ 30 minutes Ingredients: 300 g. lamb, 100 ml. dry red wine, 50 ml. olive oil, garlic, pepper, salt, fresh rosemary, fresh thyme, fresh oregano, fresh basil, fresh sage.
